[Round 2]

Kid,

if you kneel down and beg me,

I will allow you to die with dignity.

Otherwise,

I will show you

what the hell is like.

So you are determined to court death.

What…

How is that possible? That loser.

Wei Shen is correct.

This kid

is indeed exceptional.

Interesting.

You'd better pray for not falling into my hands,

or

I will show you

what the hell is like.

This kid Qin Chen

is quite interesting.

Yeah.

The game is getting more and more fun.

Chen,

congrats.

How are you doing?

The doctor said that my physical condition is quite good.

Although I've injured my muscles and bones,

there's nothing major to worry about,

and I will be able to recover quickly.

Take good care and rest well.

Chen, be careful.

Impressive palm strength!

It emits vital energy that is concentrated and not dispersed.

He is undoubtedly a master at the Earth level.

This man is called Wang Qiming.

He practices swordsmanship all day long.

It is said that he even sleeps while holding a sword.

Unbelievable!

His strength is truly terrifying.

Seems that this martial arts competition will be quite interesting.

It's fascinating that

this young man can evoke the essence of swordsmanship

through his palm strikes.

I hadn't paid attention

to him before.

The top three contenders in this year's competition

should be none other than

Li Qingfeng, Zhao Lingshan,

and Wang Qiming.

King of Lingwu, I'm curious about your favorite among them.

Li Qingfeng displays a sharp and outward aura,

Zhao Lingshan is reserved and restrained,

while Wang Qiming is dominant and fierce.

Their cultivation levels are evenly matched;

it will come down to their performance.

However, regarding future prospects,

I personally have

the highest expectations for Wang Qiming.

It's a pity that Wang Qiming, being from a commoner background,

may lack some foundation in comparison.

That doesn't matter.

Martial cultivation does not discriminate based on social status.

In the past,

I, too, was a commoner.

I forgot about that.

However,

your talent is extraordinary.

No ordinary man can compare with you.

Qin Chen is not bad, either.

It's just that his level of cultivation is relatively lower for now.

Very good.

Congratulations to the eight of you.

Now,

you have an hour to rest.

Get ready for the final stage of the arena competition.

Qin Chen

is quite cunning.

He hid his talent so well

that I underestimated him before.

Qin,

get this done:

Regardless of the methods Ge Hong uses,

make Qin Chen face off against Fen

and have Fen cripple him.

If he fails,

let him know that

the Qin family's money

is not something that anyone can obtain.

Yes, madam.

With the current situation,

it's only a matter of time before Li Qingfeng takes the championship.

I just want to wait and see how he destroys Qin Chen.

With Li Qingfeng's strength,

defeating Qin Chen would be a piece of cake.

Marquis Li.

Mr. Li.

Are the tablets ready for the students to draw lots?

Master Ge Hong, everything is ready.

Okay, let me take a look.

[Qin Fen, Qin Chen]

Not bad.

Put them back.

The arena contest is about to start.

Yes.

The break is over.

The final round of competition

for the Star Academy year-end test

officially begins now.

During the martial arts contest,

no need to go all out once you win.

Intentionally harming others is strictly prohibited,

and causing someone's death is strictly forbidden.

Violators will be severely punished.

Now,

the draw begins.

Round one:

Zuo Guang versus Li Qingfeng

Marquis Li is so powerful!

He won with just one move.

He is indeed impressive.

He deserves all the praise.

That's right.

Round one:

Li Qingfeng is the winner.

Madam, the arrangement is done.

Well done.

Qin Chen was hiding so well.

If we don't eliminate him

in this test,

I will always be ill at ease.

Round two:

Wang Qiming is the winner.

[Qin Fen, Qin Chen] Round three: Qin Fen versus

Qin Chen.

What are the odds?

This is such a coincidence!

How come these two are fighting each other?

Qin Chen,

get in here!

You've got yourself into big trouble.

Qin Chen,

today, I'll show you

what true power is.

To defeat you,

I only need one move.

I admire your guts.

You've hurt Lin Tian,

but you still have the audacity to come here and get destroyed.

Cut the crap. Prepare to die!

Too weak.

What?

How could he be so powerful?

Doesn't even make a dent.

It's not possible!

I put all my strength into that attack.

How could it be so effortlessly blocked?

Qin Fen, haven't you eaten anything? So weak.

You…

Thirteen Stacked Wave Punch!

Thirteen Stacked Wave Punch!

Madam,

I didn't expect Master Fen to master

the Thirteen Stacked Wave Punch.

It seems like

he has secured his victory in this match.

Of course.

Qin Yuechi's loser son

is no match for my Fen.

Thirteen Stacked Wave Punch was created by my father.

It is a legendary technique known for its deadly effectiveness.

The punches flow like rushing river waters,

relentless and continuous,

aiming to overpower and eliminate enemies on the battlefield.

Chen,

you must be careful.

What a formidable and dominant punch!

It's worthy of the name that Qin Batian, the God of War,

created the lethal military technique.

If Qin Chen can't withstand that,

he will die or be disabled.

It's unbelievable that Qin Fen

would use such a technique against his own brother.

Such swift footwork,

could it be the legendary Phantom Step?

Seems a little different.

He is so young,

but has cultivated his footwork to such a level.

I had no idea that Star Academy

had such a genius among us.

I don't believe I will lose!

Red Flame Bloodline!

Your time is up.

How is that possible!

Madam!

That's mine…

What…

Qin Fen lost!

What should I do…

Chen won!

Qin… Qin Chen is the winner!

Seriously?

Qin Chen won?

Qin Fen,

that attack you just suffered

was me avenging Lin Tian.

Actually, you are the only one that's the loser.

Without the Qin family,

you are worthless.

No!

I haven't lost!

I will never lose!

Chen!

How dare you!

Heart-Crushing Palm!

I…

Fen!

Young Master!

My Energy Pool…

I did this on purpose

because I knew you would sneak attack,

which gave me a chance to ruin your cultivation.

You did this to yourself.

You…

Qin Chen, you…

Young Master!

Young Master!

Help…

Help me…

Fen!

Fen!

How do you feel, Fen?

Mom!

My cultivation…

My cultivation is all gone!

Qin, kill him!

Kill this bastard!

Yes, Madam.

Kill him!

What is going on?

Stop it!

Why did Master Liang Yu step out to help?

Why is he helping?

Master!

You dare to hurt Chen!

Get lost!

Chen,

are you alright?

I'm fine.

Great.

Thank you, Master Liang Yu.

Don't mention it.

It's the least I can do.

Luckily, I came at the right time.

Chen,

I'm relieved that you're okay.

Qin,

who gave you the audacity

to make a move in the arena?

You Qins are foolishly bold!

Everyone,

I admit that I acted impulsively earlier.

However, Qin Chen

injured my son

and destroyed his cultivation.

He will never be able

to practice martial arts again.

Shouldn't all of you

be held accountable as well?

You have the nerve to say that!

If it weren't for Qin Fen's malicious intentions

and sneak attack after the match ended,

how could things have ended up like this?

From what I can see,

you fail to appreciate Chen's mercy in sparing his life.

Instead, you harbor resentment and malice.

It is truly venomous of you!

You!

Mother…

[Didn't they say that Qin Chen offended Liang Yu at the Palace of Instruments?]

[But now…]

Qin Fen conducted a sneak attack after the match ended,

which caused him to lose all his cultivation.

This is a self-inflicted consequence.

You all disregarded the reasons

and disrupted the rules of the Star Academy.

Fen! Fen!

Considering that

this incident did not result in serious consequences,

I urge you to take Qin Fen and leave quickly.

As for you,

I will spare you for now.

If it happens again,

I will punish you severely.

Alright.

Fine.

Qin Chen,

the pain you inflicted upon my son today,

I assure you,

I will repay it upon you a thousandfold in the future.

Let's go.

Qin Chen,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

Thank you, sir.

As long as you are okay.

Since you are fine,

prepare for the rest of the test well.

Yes.

But sir,

I want to report Mentor Ge Hong.

It is true that Ge Hong's failure to intervene in time and stop Qin

was somewhat negligent.

Ge Hong!

Yes, sir.

The upcoming matches

have nothing to do with you anymore.

Go back and reflect on your actions.

It was my negligence

for not intervening in time.

Mr. Chu,

I would like to report

the incident of Mentor Ge Hong conspiring with the Qin family

to deliberately trap me.

Qin Chen,

I did panic

and failed to act in time,

but you said that I colluded with the Qin family

is absolutely false!

Even though you are eloquent,

you can't conceal the truth.

Mr. Chu,

I suggest detaining Mentor Ge Hong now

and conducting an investigation.

Qin… Qin Chen,

I won't be civil with you anymore

if you continue to talk nonsense!

Qin Chen,

you claim that Mentor Ge Hong tried to set you up.

Where is the evidence?

Mr. Chu,

all you need to do is check the tablets,

and then you will understand the truth.

Mr. Chu,

you must trust me!

If I have no grudges or conflicts with Qin Chen,

how could I possibly hurt him on purpose?

Bring the tablets over.

Qin Chen,

falsely accusing a mentor of the academy is a serious offense.

Do you understand that?

I understand the gravity of the situation,

and I am willing to accept the consequences.

[Qin Chen, Qin Fen]

Ge Hong,

what are these?

Mr. Chu,

I have no idea.

I don't know why

there are marks on their tablets!

It's also possible that there was a mistake

during the preparation process.

Mentor Ge Hong, you are so smart.

The dean hasn't said anything yet,

but you already know

there are marks on Qin Fen's tablet and mine.

You…

I…

Guards!

Detain him.

-Yes. -Yes.

Mr. Chu!

I was wronged!

You wronged me, Mr. Chu!

Qin Chen,

if I find out

there is collusion between them,

I promise

I'll make things fair for you.

Okay.

I'd like to trust you, Mr. Chu.

Chen,

let me walk you out.

It's getting more interesting.

Chen,

I'm glad you are okay.

Master Liang,

what else can I help you with?

No,

nothing.

It's just… seeing you

getting unfair treatment,

I feel indignant.

Thanks a lot

for helping me today.

You are welcome.

Don't mention it!

It is my great fortune

to have the opportunity to serve you.

Then I will take my leave for now.

Alright!

Chen, take care!

Master.

Has Qin Chen left?

I'm going back.

Everyone,

for the rest of the matches,

if anyone here dares to intervene,

I don't care who you are

or what background you have,

I won't let you off the hook.

No tolerance!

I heard that Qin Chen was not favored by the Qin family,

but I never expected that they would go this far.

[This time, I have left a good impression]

[in Chen's mind.]

[In the future, if I encounter any difficulties in refining,]

[I won't worry about finding solutions.]

Liang.

Master?

Master Liang?

Are you alright?

Yes.

I'm great.

Next up,

in the final match of the quarter-finals,

we have Zhao Lingshan facing off against Wei Shen.

Master!

Lingshan is up!

Princess Lingshan, please enlighten me with your techniques.

Let's start.

Formless Fist!

Tear mountains and tame tigers!

Thanks for letting me win.

Now, I announce

that the finalists of our grand tournament

are as follows:

Li Qingfeng,

Wang Qiming,

Qin Chen,

and Zhao Lingshan.

The top genius of the Star Academy

is only me, Li Qingfeng.

That's not necessarily true.

Let's see who stands superior in the arena.

That's right.

Only when skilled experts face off

can true geniuses be nurtured.

Round one:

Zhao Lingshan versus Qin Chen!

Master, what do you think…

Lord, no need to worry.

Although Lingshan will be stopped in the quarter-finals,

it was only because she is facing off against Qin Chen.

With a different opponent,

the outcome might be different.

Then I'll just tell Lingshan

to give in.

Lord,

what are you doing?

Master Liang, didn't you mean

my daughter should lose?

No, I…

I will never ask you to do something like that.

What I mean is,

when Lingshan is going against Qin Chen,

she has no chance to win.

That's not possible, is that?

If no one interferes,

Lingshan is bound to win.

Lord,

just watch.

Qin Chen, were you okay?

Thank you for your concern, Princess.

However, you should be cautious.

I won't show any mercy in our match.

Me neither.

Since you are a master of swordsmanship,

out of respect,

I won't use any weapons.

Are you sure about that?

Please enlighten me.

Then,

take this one!

Another one!

Great force!

Chop!

This is the Sword Essence!

Sword Essence is an extremely profound skill within the art of swordsmanship,

one that even I haven't fully mastered.
